Goofs

While Atticus gets his papers together in the courtroom after the verdict you see a water glass next to the pitcher on the judge's desk (at 1:42:43). In the next shot, as he walks out, there is no glass, just the pitcher (at 1:42:48 and 1:43:06). Similarly, at 1:10:58, the glass is setting slightly behind the pitcher as Sheriff Tate confirms Mayella was beaten about her right eye, but is not there at 1:11:07 as Atticus walks up to Sheriff Tate. Note that when the glass sets further back than the pitcher, it can be concealed by the pitcher when viewed from some angles. See more »

User Reviews

'To Kill a Mockingbird' is one of the best books ever written but this film does it justice. The performances throughout are stunning, especially that of Gregory Peck (Harper Lee was so impressed she gave him her late father's pocket watch, a prop he uses in the film, to keep). This film will make anyone think hard about how they treat others and it is really heartwarming without being soppy. It isn't necessary to have read the book before seeing this film but it might be advisable. This is one of the classic films of its generation and very few films of nowadays come close to matching it either. A real must-see.
